It's a Gas! Or Is It? Effects of Temperature and Pressure on Solubility and Phase State (title provided or enhanced by cataloger)

From DLESE Community Collection (DCC)
Comment on this resource
In this activity, students investigate some basic principles of solubility as they relate to underwater volcanic activity and hydrothermal vent systems. They should be able to describe the effect of temperature and pressure on solubility of gases and solid materials, describe the effect of temperature and pressure on the phase state of gases, and explain observed chemical phenomena around deep-sea volcanoes that are consistent with principles of solubility and phase state. A set of review questions in provided, as well as a worksheet for the students to record their answers.
